I figured there was something I was missing. Display widgets is a great plugin (especially over Widget Logic).
April 14, 2013 at 5:37 pm in reply to: How to Remove Page Title Widget From Specific Pages and Posts #35491Megan GrayMemberThe Title Toggle plugin allows you to remove all page titles by default in its settings, or on an individual per-page basis. Could you clarify what you mean by Page Title Widget? I don't have experience with that theme, but in general if you're just trying to remove the page title, that plugin will do it.
Megan GrayMemberHi,
Decor comes as a mobile responsive theme. Any tweaks to the responsive design would be done in CSS. Did you have a specific question or change?
April 6, 2013 at 10:08 pm in reply to: New website based on Metro Theme – feedback much appreciated #33635Megan GrayMemberI'd love to take a look, but that link 404s 🙂
Megan GrayMemberNeither of those links work for me--I just see a link to follow you on Twitter. Is that what you see?
April 6, 2013 at 10:05 pm in reply to: post displayed on home page looks different than on its own page #33633Megan GrayMemberHey Todd, both of those links 404 for me.
Megan GrayMemberI'll stick around to take a look, but at the moment I don't see anything as a header/logo or menu in there. Is that right? Any chance you could create a temporary username/login for me to take a look around?
April 6, 2013 at 9:10 am in reply to: How do I create a dark-colored "frame" to surround text on a light background? #33473Megan GrayMemberCould you try adding a border to #inner and adjusting the padding some?
Just as an example to get you started
#inner {
border: 1px solid;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
padding-top: 2.5rem;
padding: 10px;
}Megan GrayMemberTry something like this:
/* Header
------------------------------------------------------------ */#header {
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}#title-area {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 45%;
}#title {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.25;
margin: 0 0 5px;
}#title a,
#title a:hover {
color: #222;
display: block;
padding: 27px 0 0;
text-decoration: none;
}#header .widget-area {
float: right;
width: 55%;
}/* Image Header - Partial Width
------------------------------------------------------------ */.header-image #title-area,
.header-image #title,
.header-image #title a {
display: block;
float: left;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 45%;
}
/*** Pete CSS ***/
.header-image #title {
width: 470px;
}
.header-image #title a {
width: 470px;
}Megan GrayMemberNot sure I understand the second part of your question, but to change the color of the top-level nav item on rollover, you'll want to change the hex codes in this part of your CSS file:
.menu-primary li:hover a,
.menu-primary li a:hover,
.menu-secondary li a:hover,
.menu-secondary li:hover a,
#header .menu li a:hover,
#header .menu li:hover a {
background-color: #;
color: #fff;
}Have you tried using Firebug or Chrome Inspect Element to experiment with changing your CSS values on the fly? It can be really helpful in experimenting with changes without committing them to your live site.

April 5, 2013 at 9:37 am in reply to: Minimum – How to add featured image to homepage blog post previews #33304Megan GrayMemberI can't see anything but a link to your Twitter account on your homepage. If you're using a featured posts widget, though, be sure to select the featured image- align left (or none) option, select the desired featured image size, and be sure to assign a featured image to the post in question.
Megan GrayMemberHi Vinnie,
Try downloading this plugin:Â http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/. If you already have a plugin to add manual excerpts to pages, this featured page widget will allow you to select the manual excerpt rather than just the content limit.
You could also just add this code to your functions.php file, and note that this is also where you'd control the "Read More" type text.
function custom_excerpt($text) { // custom 'read more' link
if (strpos($text, '[...]')) {
$excerpt = strip_tags(str_replace('[...]', '... <a href="'.get_permalink().'">read more...</a>', $text), "<a>");
} else {
$excerpt = '<p>' . $text . '<br/><a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more...</a></p>';
}
return $excerpt;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'custom_excerpt');
?>Megan
Megan GrayMemberHe did. It's: http://vanloonenterprises.com/ and the password is...password. 🙂
Megan GrayMemberAh, yes! That was the key for another I helped today. Glad it's sorted!
Megan GrayMemberThat's a bit complicated with this particular theme since it doesn't have an inner container you could apply a white background to, with a larger container wrapping around it to which you'd apply the polka dot background. Would require a bit of coding and I'm not sure what your comfort level is. Probably why it doesn't have the convenient Appearance > Background feature.
A short cut if you're more comfortable with Photoshop/Design is to fake this with your background image. Your background image would have something like 1000 pixels of white (accounting for the 900px width of the content and adding 50 px of padding on either side) and then your repeating polka dot background on both sides. It would be, just as an example, 1200px or more wide by 100px high and repeat vertically.
But keep in mind that one of the features of this this is alternating background colors for posts on the homepage.
Megan GrayMemberLooking at your code and have a few questions.
Did you create your custom menu, then add the Custom Menu widget to the Header Right widget area, then select this custom menu from the drop down
Did you change anything in your CSS?
Have you tried deleting the custom menu widget from the header right widget area, and starting over?
Do you have Fancy Dropdowns enabled in  Genesis theme settings?
Have you tested the menu without the dropdowns?Thanks! I'll stay posted to see if I can help.
Megan GrayMemberHi there,
Is there a way we can view your site? I'd need to take a look, which I can't do in maintenance mode.
Thanks!
Megan GrayMemberThe bottom margin of your entry content paragraph is set to 25px.
.entry-content p {
margin: 0 0 25px;
}Change it to something like this, for example:
.entry-content p {
margin: 0 0 15px;
}Of course, play around with it in Firebug or a similar tool first to find what you like, then change your CSS file.
Megan GrayMemberHi, just starting with the basics here, so forgive me while I get up to speed. When I open the images in new tabs, to view them outside of the slider, your uploads display like this:
http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kalechips-600x320.jpg
http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/cajun-quinoa-600x320.jpg
http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/blueberry-spinach-smoothie-600x320.jpgWhile they are cropped to the correct dimensions, they don't seem to be rotated properly outside of the slider, right?
Be sure to also set the slider dimensions to be 600px x 320px in the Slider Settings.
Megan GrayMemberTry replacing this:
#header .genesis-nav-menu {
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-top: 0.625rem;
width: auto;
}
With this:
#header .genesis-nav-menu {clear: none;
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-top: 0.625rem;
width: auto;
